Fancy A Ride
Music & lyrics Chris Roscoe 17 January 1989

I had me a drink in a blues bar down town
Just half a crate of old Newcastle Brown
The music was loud but the girls were uptight
I had to find me a blonde so I could spend the night
I saw this girl she was walkin’ down the street
I said “wouldn’t you rather be restin’ your feet?
See my car, do you fancy a ride?
I could run you home, just step inside”

(chorus)
Baby do you fancy a reel in my automobile?
Got twin carburettors, you know what I mean?
Three litres of power and it’s waitin’ to scream
Me and my car baby will be your dream

I said “where you going?” and she told me “no hurry”
I said “but your Dad?” and she told me not to worry
I said “my name’s Pete, what’s yours pretty babe?”
She told me “Francoise Duval, but what’s in a name?”
She fluttered her eyes and lay back in her seat
And her skirt rode up her legs, bon appetite
She said she was hot so she switched on the fan
It was then I could see she had other plans

Chorus

She was lickin’ her lips and she was breathin’ real deep
I nearly crashed when she grabbed me in a place I won’t repeat
The engine was hot, I forgot to change gear
And the windscreen steamed up when she nibbled my ear
She whispered slowly, she whispered in that ear
We could drive to a hotel, or we could stop right here
So I put my foot down, booked us room 303
And the rest as they say is biology

Chorus

When the morning came I rolled over in bed
An empty pillow where there should have been a head
I noticed a note by the telephone side
Saying “thanks for the lift Pete, and thanks for last night
I’m leavin’ this country, I’ve got a flat in the Loire
With your wallet and clothes and the keys to your car.”
She’d stolen my Allegro, I never saw it again
Have to buy me another one so I can go, I can go

Chorus
